CHAPTER 9 UNIFORMS

Section 1 General Information

IMPORTANT In general, IGR uniforms will follow the guidelines for Army uniforms as described in Army

Regulation 670-1. This regulation is not intended to duplicate AR 670-1 but to focus on grooming standards and the primary duty uniforms of the IGR: the service green, dress green and battledress uniforms, and their components. If a subject is not covered here, or for more specific information about other uniforms, AR 670-1 will be deemed to apply. 9-1. Purpose. a. This chapter prescribes the uniforms which may be worn, the items which may be worn on the uniforms, the manner in which the uniforms are worn and the occasions when the uniforms will, or will not be worn, for all personnel of the Indiana Guard Reserve (IGR). This chapter also prescribes the authorized material, design, accessories, and the wear of ornamentation, insignia, and other heraldic items. b. Only uniforms, accessories, and insignia prescribed in this regulation, as approved by HQ IGR, will be worn by personnel of the IGR. Illustrations in this regulation are furnished for information purposes only. d. Except when otherwise directed by a unit commander, the wear of optional uniform items will be at the discretion of the individual. 9-2. Wear of the uniform. a. The uniform will be worn by all personnel when on duty and may be worn when traveling to and from duty. Duty is defined as performing assignments or duties while under orders or attending drill. b.

The wearing of combination of uniform items not prescribed in this chapter or AR-670-1 is prohibited. Seasonal wear dates will not be established. c. The wearing of a combination of civilian and military clothing on duty or on a military installation is prohibited. Wear of military clothing with insignia with civilian clothing at any time is also prohibited. Commercial rucksacks, gymbags, or like articles may be hand carried but not worn over the shoulder while in uniform, except when riding on a bicycle or motorcycle. d. The wear of uniforms is prohibited: (1) In connection with the furtherance of any political or commercial interests or when engaged in civilian employment or activities, (2) When participating in public speeches, interviews, picket lines, marches, rallies, or public demonstrations, except as authorized by competent authority, (3) When attending any meeting or event which is a function of, or sponsored by, an extremist organization,

(4) In establishments that primarily sell alcohol. If the establishment sells alcohol and food, soldiers may not wear uniforms if their activities in the establishment center on drinking alcohol only. (5) When wearing the uniform would bring discredit to the soldier, the Indiana Guard Reserve or the state of Indiana. e. Headgear will be worn with all uniforms except under the following circumstances: (1) When the wear of uniform headgear compromises safety. For example: the wear of industrial hard hats or a motorcycle helmet with the uniform is acceptable when required for safety. (2) When riding in/on privately owned or commercial vehicles or public conveyance. (3) Headgear will not be worn indoors unless under arms in an official capacity or directed by the commander (e.g., indoor ceremonial activities).

(5) Soldiers are not required to wear headgear with any dress uniform to an evening (after retreat) social event. d. The uniform may be worn off duty, meaning without orders, by members in good standing for limited ceremonial occasions, and for travel to and from such occasions. Acceptable occasions are military funerals or memorial activities, military weddings (when the bride, groom or both are in uniform), and award presentations or recognition activities of a military nature. Any off-duty wear of the uniform is subject to all the provisions of this regulation. 9-3. Uniform appearance and fit. a. Appearance. Each member of the IGR will maintain a high standard of dress and appearance. Uniforms will be properly fitted (trousers pants or skirts should not fit tightly), clean, serviceable, and pressed as necessary. Personnel must project a military image that leaves no doubt that they live by a common standard and are responsible to military order and discipline.

(1) Personnel will ensure that when articles are carried in pockets; i.e., wallets, checkbooks, combs, and keys, these articles do not protrude from the pocket or present a bulky appearance. While in uniform, personnel will not place their hands in their pockets except momentarily to place or retrieve objects.

(2) Items such as keys and key chains will not be attached to the belt or belt loops unless required for a specific duty being performed, i.e., charge of quarters.

(3) Electronic devices such as cell phones and pagers may be worn on the belt but wear will be limited to a single device, its dimensions not to exceed 4x2x1 inches. Any device, case, or holder worn must be black; no other color is acceptable.

Responsibility for appearance.

b. It is the responsibility of each individual to maintain the highest standard of personal appearance while in uniform. 9-6. Appearance standards. All personnel will observe the following minimum standards for all drill periods and field training: a. Hair. There are many hairstyles which are acceptable. So long as a soldier's hair is kept in a neat, clean manner, the acceptability of the style will be judged solely by the criteria described below. Extreme or fad style haircuts or hair styles are not authorized. If dyes, tints or bleaches are used, colors must be natural to human hair and not present an extreme appearance. Lines or designs will not be cut into the hair or scalp. Styles of hair and texture differ among the different ethnic groups and these differences affect the style worn by each soldier. Haircuts, without reference to style, will conform to the following standards. (1) Male. (a) The hair will be neatly trimmed on the top of the head. The length and bulk of the hair will not be excessive or present a ragged, unkempt or extreme appearance. Hair will present a tapered appearance and when combed will not fall over the ears or eyebrows or touch the collar, except for the closely cut hair at the back of the neck. The block cut fullness in the back is permitted in moderate degrees as long as the tapered look is maintained. In all cases, the bulk or length of hair will not interfere with the wear of headgear or protective masks. (b). Sideburns will be neatly trimmed. The base will not be flared and will be a clean-shaven, horizontal line. Sideburns will not extend below the lowest part of the exterior ear opening. (c) The face will be clean-shaven, except mustaches are permitted. If a mustache is worn, it will be kept neatly trimmed, tapered and tidy and will not present a chopped-off appearance. No portion of the mustache will cover the upper lip or extend sideways beyond a vertical line drawn upward from the corner of the mouth (Figure 1). Handlebar mustaches, goatees, and beards are not authorized. If beard growth is prescribed by appropriate medical authority, the length required for medical treatment must also be

9-3 specified. For example, "A neatly trimmed beard is authorized. The length will not exceed ¼ inch."

When worn, it will conform to the standard haircut criteria as stated. (2) Female. (a) Hair will be neatly groomed. The length and bulk will not be excessive or present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. Hair will not fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the collar.
